Injured student Fahim said, “I went out for tea at night with my friend and two elder brothers. Some scoundrels in front of our mess waylaid our way. Some of them seemed to be drunk. Then they started scolding and pushing us. When we introduced ourselves as university students, they became furious and attacked us. At one stage, my phone was forcibly taken away. Meanwhile, three other naughty boys in the rickshaw came and joined them.
He further said, while this was going on, the people around froze and the owner of our mess also came down. The rascals continued to argue with the owner. When we went inside the gate of the mess, Samiul Bhai of the second batch of social work was dragged outside and started beating. When the rickshawpuller came and pushed him, he started beating him.

Later, around 10pm we went to talk to the students to bring back their mobile phones. They suddenly attacked us with knives, sticks and native weapons. We didn't know that they were planning to come from there and sit with knives and sticks. We were all empty handed.
In this surprise attack, they sewed clothes and cut my hands with scissors, someone's back and someone's legs. Some of them attacked us with sticks and bricks.
